[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Re : Scene 122: The Tower of the General

On this the westerner nobleman turned on the remains of the Talor's fellowship 
and advised :
- "Hide well for a while, I may meet my doom here..."

And on these words, he walked openly, and apparently calmly, to the next iron 
sentinel.
In fact, he was feeling a great apprehension. There was a time where a strong 
confidence in the goodness of the Invisible God would have guided his steps, but 
now this confidence was felt just as an furious insanity and his doubts on the 
destiny and afterlife were there no comfort... Were martyrs the cherished 
children of the One God or just poor souls trapped into some inhuman cosmic 
system ?

Just before he could be seen by the soldiers, he raised his bare hands hight 
above his head and shouted:
- "Who would receive the King of Seshnela lost in this strange land ! I 
surrender to the legitimate and ultimate authority of this place and request an 
audience to swear my loyalty to it."

In his inner self, Azhur was strongly skeptic on the validity of the General's 
claims and thus his legal position but his words were true, he was sincerely 
looking for the Great Architect, the responsible of this heroic land, but 
looking a last time to the void hole in the sky, he felt again a great sorrow as 
it seemed that this waited and researched Lord had just left leaving behind only 
a gaping hole, exactly like the Creator of his youth had left only a breach in 
his own soul...

"Agreed. I shall ready Plan B just in case."

If it is accepted it is very fine and if I'm imprisoned or burnt to ashes, it 
would be still time for you to go for plan B. Agreed ?"
